Yeah do I need to write down the black keys every time or just the once

me with Arcade Fire

 - After carefully working on the list of eligible acts for the last few days, we have come to the conclusion that artists cannot be picked multiple times even if they played more than once. There are more than 2500+ different acts (excluding the bonus acts), and ~80 headliner level acts. This means there are more than enough acts to draft 20 completely different lineups.

- Bonus acts? What does that mean? We’ve been thinking of ways to include 2020 acts creatively. But adding artists to the pool from a festival that hasn’t happened just didn’t make sense to us as the first sentence of rule 1 states, “only acts that have performed before can be drafted.” So here’s our solution: Between rounds 1-30, only acts from the master list can be drafted. Starting with round 31, bonus acts will also be available to be drafted. This list includes artists from the original 2020 lineup that haven’t played in any previous editions. To mix things up a little, we added acts that cancelled/dropped from previous editions to the list as well. If you don’t like any act from the bonus list, you can keep drafting from the master list. Lastly, to make it fair to everyone, we will be randomizing the draft order at the end of round 30 - and will share it in advance.

- We shared the master list and the bonus list (second post of the thread). Not everyone has the time to go over all the previous lineups, so I think this is fair to all. We did our best to include every act that performed (also cross-checked from different sources) but it might not be perfect. You don’t have to use this list if you don’t wish to, but if you pick something that is not included in that list (mostly unlikely but still), please provide a proof for your act if necessary.

- Finally, details of voting. Tournament will take place in two stages. In the first stage, drafters will be randomly divided into two groups of 5. Top 4 from each group (determined via polling) will advance to the single-elimination tournament. Seeds will be randomly determined in rounds of 16, 8, and 4 and voting will be public; i.e. you can reply to the relevant thread with your vote. Final match will be polled.

- Bing will be coming up with the draft order tomorrow his time I think.

- More details are on the OP, but feel free to ask any other questions to both of us if things are not clear.

*starts taking 5 hot chips off my list*

it will be, but he hasn’t done it yet I think

I just wanna get the game going so it’s whatever, but just wanna put it out there that 12/20 players were pro acts being drafted multiple times

After ranking a bunch of acts I don't think it's all that necessary
